Hi everyone. So I went to the docs this morning as I spot and bleed for most of my days, being this way for some years. First time I brought it up I had bloods come back to say suspected PCOS. After falling pregnant with my youngest and mentioning to the doctor who said that I wasnt suspected(?) still gaving problems after birth had a smear, and referred to the hospital for a scan ehich came back as small cysts on right overies. Docs today said no I havent. Advised to try different tablets to help reduce pain and bleeding today and referred to gyno for suspected endo?! Literally have no idea what is going on. Feeling a little helpless.

Hi I bled daily for a year and a half before my gp would refer me to gynae. You need a diagnostic laparoscopy for endometriosis so they can find out what is going on. After which if they find you do have endo they will put you on a treatment plan which should clear up or lessen your symptoms. Endo uk website along with endo resolved can give you lots of information to orientate yourself as to what diagnosis involves
